Spa uniforms.. something that has changed as the salon and spa industry has expanded. Traditionally estheticians wear white jackets, and you can spot who works at a salon if they're wearing all black. But there has been a change, and one of the leaders in this market is Noel Asmar Uniforms - a wide range of comfortable, flattering, innovative retail-inspired uniforms! With the variety of contemporary styles employees look both modern and professional.As a business, there are some questions that go into this decision

Should we require our staff to wear uniforms?

Should all the uniforms be the same?

What color should we pick?

Tops and bottoms or just tops?

The list goes on and on.

Ultimately the decision is up to you!

An article in AmericanSpa.com by Lisa Starr brings great points! "Whatever choice you make, it is important to involve staff members at some point—after all, they’re going to have to wear whatever is chosen. It is important to find a uniform that employees feel comfortable in and that they can wear proudly. “Otherwise, it affects employee morale, and that has a big effect on customer service,” says Brown. “It’s always extremely challenging, but it’s well worth the effort to find the right look for all of the teams in your spa, as well as making sure that each uniform fits each individual correctly.”

I would suggest changing the styles based on the seasons keeping the business fresh.Want to see my summer picks?

Did you know all the benefits of a Natural Salt Lamp? The negative salt ions released by heating can boost blood flow, improve sleep, increase levels of serotonin in the brain, and calm allergy or asthma symptoms. Besides these homeopathic perks, there's an added relaxation element. And what client doesn't want to be uber relaxed at a spa!?

By putting one in your treatment room, not only will the clients reap the benefits, but your staff too!

One-of-a-kind and absolutely beautiful, these natural salt lamps are hand-shaped from select chunks of the finest, most potent salt crystal in the world. However, these attractive lamps provide more than ambient, soothing light. Some users may experience homeopathic health benefits from using them --the most immediate and dramatic being for those suffering from respiratory allergies and/or asthma.

Note: Due to their natural and unique quality, each lamp will vary somewhat in both color and exact form. Coloring ranges from soothing apricot and peach to deep and fiery red and orange.

All lamps include a wooden base, a six-foot UL® Listed electrical cord with a bulb of between 7 and 40 watts, based on the lamp's size.

Size: 6"-8" tall, 7-10 lbs.

There are several nice things to say about Himalayan Salt Lamps, including the fact that they are made with natural, sustainable Himalayan salt. In addition, the companies that mine the salt are socially responsible.

We have tons of options to choose from! On top of the benefits inside your spa, these make excellent retail items as well!

White is a color!..And a powerful one in fact! A simple color, or seemingly color-less, white is actually a very complex color and has a lot of symbolism in our daily lives. At its most complete and pure state, white is the color of perfection! As on the stripes of the American Flag, and the symbolism of the white wedding dress, white signifies purity and innocence. It is the most commonly used color for interior design, especially in Spas, Salons, and Medical Offices. Why?...

2) Cleanliness: For it's purity. White allows dirt, and the alike, to be easily noticed, so using white encourages the business to maintain clean surfaces, and a germ-free environment. It is also the reason why doctors, estheticians, etc. wear white jackets and lab coats. When it comes to decor, using white for negative space makes rooms appear to be open, larger, and uncluttered.

2) Psychological:White is the color of new beginnings. Since white isn't stimulating to the senses alone, it is the blank slate that opens the door to make lasting impressions on the mind of your clients. Just think, when you walk into an all-white spa, you automatically perceive it as being clean, comforting, and refreshing.

3) Reflective: Scientifically speaking, since white is found all the way at the end of the visual spectrum, using white when decorating, in conjunction with other colors, creates great contrast causing the other colors to "POP!" Recommended combinations include white/black and white/red.

4) Protection/Encouragement: White offers a sense of peace, calmness, comfort and hope, which can ease your clients from stress or emotional issues.

Pure Spa Direct (hence Pure) offers everything you need to make your spa the clean, pure, warm, welcoming, and peaceful place you always imagined!...And no better time than now, since it is Spring Cleaning time!
